NAME
FUNCTION
MAX8647 MAX8648
Supply Voltage Input. The input voltage range is 2.7V to 5.5V. Bypass IN to GND with a
1µF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the IC. IN is high impedance during
shutdown. Connect IN to the anodes of all the LEDs.

Transfer Capacitor 1 Positive Connection. Connect a 1µF ceramic capacitor from C1P
to C1N.
Transfer Capacitor 2 Positive Connection. Connect a 1µF ceramic capacitor from C2P
to C2N.
Transfer Capacitor 2 Negative Connection. Connect a 1µF ceramic capacitor from C2P
to C2N. An internal 10kΩ resistor pulls C2N to GND during shutdown.
Transfer Capacitor 1 Negative Connection. Connect a 1µF ceramic capacitor from C1P
to C1N.
Charge-Pump Negative Output. Connect a 1µF ceramic capacitor from NEG to GND. In
shutdown, an internal 10kΩ resistor pulls NEG to GND. Connect the exposed paddle to
NEG directly under the IC.

NEG
LED Current Regulators. Current flowing into LED_ is based on the internal registers.
Connect LED_ to the cathodes of the external LEDs. LED_ is high impedance during
shutdown. For the MAX8647, program any unused LED_ to off and LED_ can be
shorted to ground or left unconnected. For the MAX8648, short any unused LED_ to IN
prior to power-up to disable the corresponding current regulator.

Enable and Serial-Pulse Dimming Control. ENA controls LED1, LED2, and LED3. ENB
controls LED4 and LED5. ENC controls LED6. Drive EN_ logic-high to turn on the IC
and enable the corresponding LED_ at 24mA each. Drive an individual EN_ logic-low
for greater than 4ms to turn off the corresponding-current regulators or drive all three
EN_ low to place the IC in shutdown. See the Serial-Pulse Dimming Control (MAX8648)
section.
